Thanks! I put the eggplant in a stirfry. Good for you for starting some fall crops. I’m holding out for fall. I took pictures of the bright spots in the garden, but overall it’s pretty dismal out there.

Sounds like you’ve had a very successful garden. With our severe drought we’ve had limited success. Tomatoes, carrots, onions, and a few peppers. We got a couple of zucchini and a few yellow squash. That was really disappointing. Who can’t grow zucchini for goodness sakes? I remember having so much as a zucchini I didn’t know what to do with it…. years ago and I wasn’t even trying that hard! This was the first time we grew onions and I was really shocked how easy it is and how much better they taste.

Zucchini is tricky for me. I had good success with ‘Black Zucchini’ this year, and may try it again this fall. We just had a week of intermittent rain, and it’s very sad out in the garden. Sounds like the opposite of you. I’m trying to maintain what I have, but am going to try to have a good fall garden. In fact, that makes me want to pull some kale out of the freezer. Gardening is an adventure!!! I’m glad I don’t have to depend on it to be able to eat!
